MY FICTION

“My Fiction should lead the next wave of Aussie festival faves.” Rolling Stone
“Personal, uplifting, clever, poetic. all of those things.” The Courier-Mail
“.it’s just a great album. Like a cute kid on a merry-go-round these songs may take a few spins to settle in, but once there on, they won’t leave.” Scene Magazine
Things are really starting to happen for powerhouse four-piece MY FICTION. But if you have been around their hometown of Brisbane, Australia anytime in the past year, you could see it coming though – the buzz steadily building, the shows getting bigger, and the band growing in confidence.
And now, they’ve made the leap, taken that almost mythical ‘next step’. Armed with a brilliant new record and an impressive live show My Fiction are making good on the promise they’ve shown since emerging onto the local scene.
Their sound? It’s indie rock without the baggage. My Fiction know what makes people move, and how to connect. The big guitars, bigger melodies and powerful bottom end all combine to make something immediate, but with depth. Lyrically powerful, their songs leave plenty of room for emotional connection. Little wonder they find inspiration through artists as diverse as Bowie, Midnight Juggernauts, Battles and Regurgitator. It’s music that speaks of dark and mischievous romance, heartbreak, missing the last train home and taking your BMX for a joyride in the suburbs.
As Rolling Stone recently put it: “My Fiction's music brings to mind less the sun-drenched suburbs of Brisbane and more the cold streets of London. Galloping drums, Morrisey-tinged vocals and Eighties synths butt up against grungey guitars and muscular delivery. Whether this juxtaposition of shoe-gazing and youthful enthusiasm works is academic, because My Fiction can really write hooks.”
And it’s a sound that’s been wonderfully realised on their debut long player FireRomanceFire Produced by ARIA winning Magoo, the record packs a serious punch and builds on the strength of the band’s previous releases – the “Your Tokyo” EP and double a-side “Tonight Tonight/The Loop.
